Patriot/Pilothouse Hinckley 70'Sold - $1,995,000

PATRIOT was custom built and designed to be the ultimate "floating home" with all the modern amenities. She offers comfort and safety on long offshore ocean passages with great sailing performance, particularly in light airs. Since her launching she has been in service, and constantly maintained in new boat condition by her captain and a full crew. At the beginning and end of each season she is hauled out, inspected and all necessary maintenance and refinishing completed. The result is a vessel that is a head turner in any harbor in the world. A fine example of a Hinckley Sou’wester 70 center cockpit raised salon sloop. She features varnished teak on her cabin sides, as well as natural teak decks and cabin tops, to give her the appearance of an old world, traditional yacht. Below decks, her exquisite, raised panel varnished cherry interior complete the picture. Throughout this vessel traditional looks combine with the latest in technology and amenities to create an elegant and comfortable environment for eight.
